  1. I was thinking of after the fire was out.
  2. You could allways do a Summit Tunnel fire diorama.
  3. They have had the Triang Ships in the catalogue for some time. I noticed that they are going to produce a tanker (BP) with the Scania cab unit, but no illustration yet.
  4. David Cameron should be very careful.
  5. My bits arrived yesterday but I was out when the postman arrived picked them up this morning, everything OK thanks.
  6. Yes I found it and have placed my order. I have also bookmarked the site.
  7. I sent you details as requested but I still have not heard anything yet.
  8. I'm keeping an eye on it, I expect it to go for a three figure sum.
  9. He could at least have put the transfers on straight.
  10. The first ones had just the one cab behind the lift. The dual cab came about after an accident where they were criticized for the drivers vision being obscured by 'A mass of heavy steel' to quote the magistrate who dealt with the case. Incidently they were made by Shevloke and Drury.
  11. This looks like turning into a marathon.
  12. The Battlefield line has one in preservation (C958YOR) but this now has a dropside body. A recent photograph has appeared on the 'On Track Plant' website but you have to be a member to view other than a thumbnail. The OTP site also has a section for disposals/sales and Bruffs sometimes appear on there.
  13. So thats what a gremlin looks like, now all I have to do is find the little bu&&ers infesting my layout.
  14. Regrettably all the old Maltese buses have been withdrawn and replaced by modern buses and now operated by Arriva. There is a quarterly magazine published called 'British Buses Abroad' which has a sister publication called 'Maltese Transport'. You can find these at bus rallies etc. or you can take out a subscription.
  15. I,ve been taking a look at Oxford's website, no pic but they have a 'Modern London Ambulance' listed as 'bodyshape' Mercedes ambulance.
  16. I came home yesterday to find a note from the wife on the fridge door, it said "It's not working any more, I'm going to my mothers." I opened the fridge door and the light came on and my beer was still cold so what's the problem?
  17. Perhaps they could be converted into holiday lets as per those illustrated. It would also be a good source of revenue for a preserved line.
  18. Who did she hit first, her husband or the doctor.
  19. I have one of these, IIRC they were made by Lima. There is no manufacturers name but it looks very Lima-ish.
  20. The last but one would make a good subject for a caption contest.
  21. It is a GE family saloon # 8. of 1877. Originally built as a 6 wheeler.
  22. It's possible that the vendor has come across this item legitimately not knowing that it was stolen property (thats assuming it is stolen). Most such items appear to be stolen to order but I would certainly like to know a lot more about the providence of such an item.
  23. HGD was issued Jan-Mar 1950. A bit late for that type of vehicle as most none standard (i.e. foreign) wartime military vehicles had been sold off by about 1948
  24. The tipper truck is a wartime Canadian Dodge. The registration dates from late 1947/early 1948 so I assume it is an ex military vehicle. (The HGO registrations were issued from December 1945 to March 1948.)
